Hip Pain Balmain
About hip pain
Hip pain is a common condition, with osteoarthritis being one of the most common causes. The prevalence of hip pain and osteoarthritis increases with age, affecting around 30% of those aged 75 and over. Hip pain is also a common issue for athletes, with various contributing factors including overuse, direct impact, and underlying structural issues.
Chronic hip pain is a frequent condition we treat at the clinic. At RedoHealth, we’ll work with you to understand the root cause of your pain and address any contributing factors, such as movement patterns or specific activities.
Hip pain causes
Although osteoarthritis is a leading cause of chronic hip pain, hip pain can arise from various factors, including overuse, poor posture, injury, or degenerative conditions. Some of the most frequent causes are:
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Hip Labral Tears
- Muscle Strains
- Hip Instability
- And more
Symptoms of hip pain
Hip pain can present in different areas, such as the hip joint, groin, thigh, or buttocks. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for proper treatment. If left untreated, chronic hip pain can lead to increased pain and disability. Common symptoms include:
- Sharp, dull, or aching pain
- Hip or leg stiffness
- Grating or clicking
- Limping
- Difficulty with daily activities
Hip pain assessment
Hip or groin pain can stem from various structures in the area. It can also be influenced by areas outside the hip (such as the pelvis, thorax or foot, where movement is suboptimal). At RedoHealth, our experienced team will conduct a comprehensive assessment to diagnose your condition and identify the key factors that will guide your treatment and recovery plan.
Hip pain treatments
By understanding the history behind your hip pain and any other related conditions, we can help you make sense of your symptoms. We’ll also look at potential contributing factors such as your movement patterns and daily activities. Taking a holistic approach, our treatment will include exercises to improve range of motion, mobility, and strength.Â
